5. Survivor Series 97’: Shawn Michaels Vs. Bret Hart
From a 60 minute-plus breathtaking wrestling match to a 12 minute encounter which was spent outside more so than anything else, this basically sums up the match these two had from WrestleMania VII to the iconic 97’ Survivor Series. The outcome certainly overshadowed the match, as fans don’t remember anything from the contest and just remember the aftermath of Bret Hart getting screwed out of his job.
The match itself was a glorified Attitude Era match and anything but a classic. The match was spent predominantly outside while Shawn took every opportunity to get some heat from the Montreal crowd, taunting them every two minutes as it seemed. Out of the seven matches on the card, the iconic battle was one of the shortest matches and certainly won’t be remembered for its quality. Such a shame that the last time we got to see these guys compete against one another was under such terrible circumstances.
